LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Maggie Lucas scored 34 points to lead seventh-ranked Penn State to an 82-67 victory over 20th ranked Nebraska on Sunday, clinching the Lady Lions' second straight outright Big Ten championship.
Lucas made a career-high eight 3-pointers, with four of them coming in a bunch to help the Lady Lions stretch their lead in the first half and three more keeping the Huskers at bay early in the second.
Senior Lindsey Moore led Nebraska with 23 points, while sophomore forward Emily Cady finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. The Huskers will be the number two seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament.
The lady Huskers (22-7, 12-4) were playing their last game at Lincoln's Devaney Center, which has been their home for 37 seasons. They move into a new downtown arena next season.
